Red Pepper Risotto http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/08/red-pepper-risotto/    


 

    8 cups chicken broth low sodium

    3 tbsps olive oil

    1/2 whole onion (Medium, Diced)

    2 whole red bell pepper (Diced)

    13/4 cups arborio rice

    3/4 cup dry white wine

    salt (To Taste)

    5 ozs goat cheese (fluid)

    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

    1/2 tsp tumeric (optional)


 

Bring broth to a simmer in a medium pan. In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium to medium-low heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add red peppers and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Add uncooked rice and stir for a minute or two, allowing it to be coated with the other ingredients.

Pour in wine and cook for a minute or two.

Now, start adding broth a cup to a cup and a half at a time, stirring gently and allowing each addition to absorb into the rice. Repeat for 25 to 30 minutes, or until rice is al dente. (You might not need to use all the broth.)

At the end, stir in a little more liquid and turn off heat. Stir in turmeric if desired.

Add cheeses and stir. Serve immediately!

Par-Cel – looks like parsley, tastes celery  - often referred to clip_image004[4]as “wild celery”

Use: An easy to use herb that adds a zesty flavour to salads and just about any other dish. As it is a delicate flavour it should be added just prior to serving. Mix with olive oil and lime juice for a tangy salad dressing. Use as a garnish that people will eat rather than leave.
